First make sure all previous installations are completely removed
So uninstall and next do this:

sudo rm
-f /usr/local/bin/gbx3 /usr/local/bin/gbc3 /usr/local/bin/gba3 /usr/local/bin/gbi3
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/gambas3
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gambas3.gambas

sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gbx3 /usr/bin/gbc3 /usr/bin/gba3 /usr/bin/gbi3
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/gambas3
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gambas3.gambas

Last version I installed compiling was Gambas 3.3.3 (so I hope it works
for 3.3.4 as well)

For Debian squeeze:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libbz2-dev libfbclient2
libmysqlclient-dev unixodbc-dev libpq-dev libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-dev
ibglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libldap2-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev
libgtkglext1-dev libpcre3-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
libsdl-image1.2-dev libsage-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libbonobo2-dev
libcos4-dev libomniorb4-dev librsvg2-dev libpoppler-dev
libpoppler-glib-dev libasound2-dev libesd0-dev libdirectfb-dev
libaa1-dev libxtst-dev libffi-dev kdelibs4-dev firebird2.1-dev
libqt4-dev libglew1.5-dev libimlib2-dev libv4l-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev
libgnome-keyring-dev linux-libc-dev libgsl0-dev libncurses5-dev
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libcairo2-dev
libgmime-2.4-dev

gb.media (gstreamer version to low) and gb.jit (LLVM 3.1 needed) will be
disabled.

For Debian Wheezy:

sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libbz2-dev libfbclient2
libmysqlclient-dev unixodbc-dev libpq-dev libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-dev
libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libldap2-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev
libgtkglext1-dev libpcre3-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
libsdl-image1.2-dev libsage-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libbonobo2-dev
libcos4-dev libomniorb4-dev librsvg2-dev libpoppler-dev
libpoppler-glib-dev libpoppler-private-dev libasound2-dev libesd0-dev
libdirectfb-dev libaa1-dev libxtst-dev libffi-dev kdelibs5-dev
firebird2.1-dev libqt4-dev libglew1.5-dev libimlib2-dev libv4l-dev
libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
linux-libc-dev libgsl0-dev libncurses5-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libcairo2-dev libgmime-2.6-dev

gb.jit (LLVM 3.1 needed) is disabled.

Both installs where from 3.3.3. downloaded from Gambas website.

Hope this helps, I would love to see a Gambas 3.3.x version in official
Debian repos (for both Squeeze and Wheezy) really soon.
That would probably also be of influence on the Ubuntu repos (as I
understood from someone)
Both distros really need some Gambas 3 A.S.A.P , but how to make them
understand this need?
